Yesterday night, I defeated my final colossus. You know a game is special when you actually feel bad about completing it. Each successive colossus is so impressive, so imaginative, so awe-inspiring creatively... even though there were plenty of them, I still can't help but be a little disappointed that there aren't any more left for me to find. Shadow of the Colossus is definitely one of the best video games I have ever played.



I think I'd better clear up something that has left at least a couple of folks a little confused. On the ordering page for any particular shirt in the shop -- for example, the I'm Communism page -- the little grey shirt icons are only meant to indicate the different styles of shirts. They are not meant to indicate the colour. I've changed the shop a bit to make the colour information more clear. Sorry for the confusion!

The books still seem to be popular, which as always is a big relief on my end. In case you are wondering... while I am planning to print extras so that I can keep selling them after the preorder campaign ends, sales will have to take a pause so that I can concentrate on packing and mailing the preordered books in time for the holidays. (This is a one-man operation, after all!) But if you can't pick one up before the 18th, you will have another chance sometime early next year!



Claire's got me watching Stargate: SG1. It would have happened earlier if giving it a try wasn't so intimidating. After all, if you find you enjoy it -- and I do, by the way -- you're basically committing yourself to watching hundreds of hours of television. Even excluding the spinoff series, there are nine seasons to this show. After a couple of months, I'm about halfway through season two. I have a feeling civilization will have collapsed long before I ever get caught up. But if that's true, I suppose I'll have more important things to worry about!

A bunch of new things are now available in the shop. The books are back as promised. I've also brought back hoodies and babydoll ts, and resurrected a few of my older shirt designs. Those designs originate from a time when my readership was less than half of what it is now, so I know there will be a number of folks who never had a chance to pick them up if they wanted.



Anyhow, these new items will only be available until the 18th of November. I want to make sure that we can get them printed up and placed into your hands before Christmas arrives! Our regular t-shirts, on the other hand, are already printed up and in stock, so they will arrive in time as long as you order before the 31st.



A closing thought: have you ever tried to sing along to Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"? Well I did, and "try" is definitely the opperative word.
